Hi folks and thanks for dropping by. Well we’ve had plenty of swell here at the Super bank over the last few days. The low-pressure system that’s still sitting not far off the coast is reeking havoc in the suburbs blowing down trees, causing floods and traffic jams.
But its also been producing some fine waves.
It’s not a classic swell by any means. With the gale force southerlies most waves are mush burgers. And the sweep along the coast is as bad as it gets. Outside snapper is about 6-8 ft with an occasional nice wall but pretty much impossible to paddle out there on your own steam because of the current. There are bigger sets also breaking out wide in the middle of the bay. They usually back off and reform down at Greenmount, where the real waves are at the moment
There are the odd few screamers coming through on the beach at Coolangatta breaking all the way down past Kirra big groyne…yeah that’s right Kirra is breaking … not classic Kirra but the first time there’s been waves on this part of the super bank for along time.
These shots are of one wave this lucky bloke got from the middle of the beach at Coolangatta to 100 metres past the big groyne at Kirra.
Its still pouring down rain so as soon as it eases I’ll get out and take a few more shots …there should be some great waves as the weather clears and the low moves further of the coast in the next few days
If you’ve got the munchies drop in to Dee and Paul’s Rainbow Bay cafe and try out there burgers. The best on the coast!! While you’re waiting for your meal, check out some of the photos on the wall and you’ll see some great old shots of some of the locals … famous and some not so famous. Local guys like Mick F, Josh Kerr, Deano and Parko grew up on their chips and burgers.
